Todd Leiter-Weintraub
Singer/songwriter and music geek. Occasional music writer and tireless promoter of all that I consider to be "good" music. Love all genres, but gravitate toward underground/indie/independent and classic rock, classic country and classic RnB. Delving more into "World" music, too. Esp. Tropicalia and various African styles.

Todd Leiter-Weintraub's Album Reviews
Imagine if you will, a schmaltzy Broadway production of a post-apocolyptic fairy tale, composed through the collaborative efforts of Frank Zappa, Benny Goodman and Andrew Lloyd Webber.
It may not sound appealing on paper, but let it get into your ears and the bizarre story and sneaky, snakey melodies will grow on you like a boil you don't want to lance. A big part of it is Tunney's goofy, endearing vocal delivery. It's a sort of nasal whine that oozes with equal parts sincerity and sarcasm. He knows what he's saying is bizarre, but he's enjoying every second of it. And so will the adventerous, open-minded listener.
